Art Impressions Picture Perfect Greeting Card

Art Impressions makes whimsical stamps that are so much fun to color. For this card I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens for the first time. The colors are nice and vibrant - perfect for this design.

Making the Card

1. Cut light blue cardstock 7x10 inches; fold in half to form a 5x7 inch card base. Cut chevron paper to 4 1/2 x 6 inches; adhere to front of card as shown. Cut pink flower paper to 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches. Use the largest square STAX die (about 4 inches) to cut center, creating a frame (keep inside piece for another project). Keep the scraps from these sheets! One chevron piece should be 1 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches; use the back side (white dots on black) for under the sentiment. The pink flower leftover piece will be used for the sentiment itself.
